Stockton Civic Auditorium

Jerry's tone this night sounds like a howling elephant, translating into excellent rocker of a Sugar Mags

Pretty standard for the era (77-78) but IMO it still crushes any version from the 80s

During the jam Jerry cycles between power chords and sick noodling, it's played so well they played it again their next show.

This was an isolated show and it sure sounds that way. Rock n rock and rock and roll here baby!
I Need A Miracle
Oct. 22, 1978
Winterland Arena

Rocking version from a killer tour. Check it out!
Morning Dew
Sept. 14, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Jerry's shaky vocals are part of this one's charm - the NYC crowd goes nuts over it. The climatic part of Few wasn't very climatic but still great Weir\Garcia interplay in jams! Solid 8.5\10
Wharf Rat
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena

Best version of year and i love Donna but she's got nothing to do with this insane rocker.
Jack Straw

Parc des Expositions

One of my favorite versions.... Pre-Hiatus Always thought E74 was GDs best work across the Atlantic.
